Harassment Allegations Spur Resignation Calls From Indiana AG's Party

It's Curtis Hill against the world.

It's Curtis Hill against the world.

The rising star in the Republican Party, who recently shared a stage with President Trump in Hill's hometown of Elkhart, now finds himself in open warfare with the leaders of his own party over allegations he inappropriately touched four women, including a state lawmaker.

In a state dominated by the GOP, the confrontation between Hill and his party threatens to sow chaos.

It also stands as the first test of the national #MeToo movement that has now crashed into the halls of the Indiana Statehouse and drawn scrutiny upon the response by lawmakers.

After a week of dramatic turns — the leaking of a confidential memo, Gov. Eric Holcomb's much-awaited return to Indianapolis, a Republican chorus calling for a resignation, Hill's repeated denials and refusals to resign and two women publicly stepping forward — the number of unanswered questions grew into a heap.
